I am not broken". Emma and I said at the same time. "AhaHhaaahaaa" that witch laughed and then said," If both of you aren't broken than who is the one which is broken. Is it me? Denying the reality doesn't change it but it'll make you feel better". Emma and I looked at each other and then again to that witch.

Without changing yourself to be safe. Because when you are truly yourself… you do not need to fight anyone. You just… exist. And that existence alone… is already enough to undo every lie that was ever told.” Later that night, when everyone else slept, I walked out to the very edge of the ridge, where the ground fell away steeply and the world stretched out dark and wide below.
